Constant evolution Professionalism and evolution mark the new stage in the city’s gastronomy, which comprises nearly 300 gastronomic venues of distinguished types. According to João Leidens, President for the Union of Hotels, Restaurants, Bars and related in the Grape and Wine region, professionalization is the main focus, since new entrepreneurs are not inexperienced anymore. “Before starting off in the business, they are getting acquainted with the field, both in aspects related to gastronomy and management”. In Mr. Leidens opinion, this has been extremely important for the qualification and evolution of the gastronomic industry. Although Mr. Leidens acknowledges that typical Italian food plays a major role in the local gastronomy, he stresses the diversity of options available in the city. “Currently a wide range of the world’s cuisines have been made available. Clients can find similar options to those offered in the larger cities, at lower prices, hough.” Besides the contemporary cuisine, the city has welcomed typical regional Brazilian food restaurants. Traditional gastronomy companies have also invested in qualification so as to keep their competitiveness. “The public is very eclectic, thus the need to modernize without losing our origins”, says Mr. Leidens. In contrast, the new restaurants which offer a more contemporary cuisine, figured out the city’s timeless cultural aspects: serving more plentiful portions than served in other cities is a rule. “Having abundant food available is a remarkable feature in our region, and how successful the restaurant will be depends on this condition.” Marcia Ferronato, Executive Director for the Union, praises the consideration that both new and existing restaurants have placed on the modern cuisine. They are also concerned with keeping old traditions. This kind of cuisine, according to Mrs. Ferronato, features healthy dishes, made with selected fresh ingredients sourced straight from the farmer. “We are creating a territorial gastronomic identity.” The leading members of the gastronomy industry also mention the restaurants’ growing concern about providing clients with kids areas and meeting the needs of those who have dietary restrictions.

Industry invests in diversification Data gathered by Department of Agriculture shows that in 2013 approximately 25 million litres of wine and related were produced in Caxias. From this total about 90% originate from American grapes. One of the main initiatives to promote the industry is the introduction of a Wine Awards event, which is held annually. Since 2013, grape juices were added to the event. According to Araí Horn, member director of the Department of Agriculture, this action aims to increase visibility of Grape juice since its production is gaining more and more prominence. Another ongoing measure in this industry is related to wine tourism. Although it is still early days, some wineries are working on getting the necessary structure ready to welcome visitors, whereas others have already submitted their applications. Revinsul, an organization that consists of 12 wineries, will have a permanent area dedicated to sales of wines and related products. During this year’s edition of Grape Festival, dozens of labels will be sold. As soon as the festival is over, the area will be house to the organization, and from June onwards, it will be named Casa do Vinho Caxiense, being open daily to serve tourists. Another trade initiative is related to regular wine trading events called Feira do Vinho. These will be held at Dante Alighieri city square, in an effort to meet the public’s demand. The Feira do Vinho has been held for some time prior to Easter celebrations. In the next edition, the public will be able to find wines from 2014 harvest, a feature of other wine producer regions. We are willing to hold this event every two or three months.
